Your mystery number will be x.
5+3x=5x-8
If you only want the equation, there it is. If you want me to solve as well, just say the word.
I already answered, but if you can't see it for some reason, the answer is A.
3x+5=5x-8
And if you want it solved, then here it is.
3x+5=5x-8
Add 8 to both sides.
3x+13=5x
Subtract 3x from both sides.
13=2x
Divide both sides by 2
\(x=\frac{13}{2}=6.5\)
